Chapter 96: A Happy Ending

When Meng Chao received the news that Meng Ke and Han Zhi had encountered a terrorist attack, it was the middle of the night back home.

The urgent ringing of the phone woke Meng Chao and Lin Qin. The call was from Han Zhi’s agent, reporting that a music festival in K City, a certain country in Europe, had been the target of a terrorist attack. The death toll had already exceeded twenty, and the number was still rising as rescue efforts continued.

Both Han Zhi and Meng Ke had attended the concert, and the venue was now in chaos; there was no way to contact them.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chao’s heart tightened instantly. He made the decision to rush to Europe overnight.

Lin Qin didn’t stop him. Although he knew that the situation there was still unstable and dangerous, he also understood that if he didn’t let Meng Chao go, Meng Chao wouldn’t be able to rest easy.

"Brother Chao, be careful." Lin Qin escorted Meng Chao to the door. Meng Chao held Lin Qin’s nape firmly and gave him a fierce kiss before disappearing into the night.

After returning to the bedroom, Lin Qin couldn’t sleep no matter what. Instead, he opened his phone to check the latest news on the incident.

The news had already spread domestically, and people were praying for K City all over Weibo. Someone had also revealed that Han Zhi had attended the concert, causing a frenzy among Han Zhi’s fans.

If this were false information, Han Zhi’s company should clarify to avoid unnecessary panic. However, Chutian Entertainment remained silent on the matter, leaving social media eerily quiet.

Some desperate fans began grasping at straws, flooding Lin Qin’s Weibo with messages asking for answers. After all, Lin Qin was the young heir of Chutian Entertainment and would know where their artist was.

Lin Qin, already anxious and distressed, grew even more irritated after reading their pleas. He couldn’t sit still.

Nevertheless, Lin Qin restrained himself from replying. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would be wrong. Just like the fans, he was impatiently waiting for news.

After struggling through the night, Lin Qin finally received a call from his mother, Chu Ge, in the morning.

"Did Meng Chao leave for Europe?"

In just one night, the news of Meng Ke being caught in the attack had spread across high society circles. The Meng Family was now pulling every string they had to find Meng Ke’s whereabouts. However, given the chaos over there, even connections couldn’t quickly obtain any information.

Knowing the deep bond between Meng Chao and Meng Ke, Chu Ge was certain that Meng Chao would rush to Europe at the first opportunity after hearing the news.

Lin Qin confirmed Chu Ge’s suspicions with a simple "Yes." Chu Ge sighed and asked, "Should you go visit Aunt Lan?" Aunt Lan was the mother of Meng Chao and Meng Ke. If there was anyone most distraught right now, it would undoubtedly be her.

Lin Qin thought his mother was right. After ending the call, he drove to the Meng Family’s old residence.

The old residence was bustling with activity, but when Lin Qin saw Aunt Lan, her demeanor was unexpectedly calm. She didn’t seem too rattled by the events.

When Aunt Lan saw Lin Qin, she gestured for him to come closer. "You’re very thoughtful," she said.

"Aunt Lan, are you alright?" Lin Qin asked worriedly as he sat beside her.

"I believe in their good fortune; they’ll surely be fine," Aunt Lan said with conviction. But Lin Qin could tell that her words were as much to comfort herself as they were for him.

"Yes, they’ll definitely be fine!" Lin Qin echoed her determination.

Just like that, another day passed, and they finally received an update from Meng Chao.

Meng Chao: "I’ve arrived in Europe. All is well, don’t worry."

However, this didn’t help ease Lin Qin’s anxiety. Knowing that Meng Chao was now in that turbulent region only made him more unsettled.

Meanwhile, there was still no news of Han Zhi. Chutian Entertainment’s private messages had been flooded, with fans frantically asking whether Han Zhi was in Europe, whether he was safe, and if so, begging him to post a message on Weibo to reassure everyone.

But Han Zhi couldn’t possibly post on Weibo in this situation. His fate – whether alive or not – was still unknown. There was no way to post something to mislead the public.

Eventually, Chutian Entertainment could no longer withstand the pressure from the fans and issued a statement.

Chutian Entertainment v: We firmly believe that he will be alright. @Han Zhi, if you see this, please respond.

This Weibo post directly addressed the issue of Han Zhi’s presence in K City. Many fans broke down in tears upon seeing it, following the official format to tag Han Zhi and plead for him to reply.

Lin Qin maintained continuous contact with Meng Chao, but the sheer number of people at the music festival, coupled with the chaos caused by the attack, made the magnitude of devastation unimaginable.

Despite K City’s full-scale rescue efforts, the damage was too extensive to be handled swiftly.

Meng Chao joined the rescue operations, sparing only brief moments to check in with Lin Qin and his family.

Two days passed unknowingly, and rescue missions finally showed progress.

During this time, Lin Qin didn’t dare sleep, afraid he’d miss critical updates.

He eventually managed to take a short nap, but as soon as he woke up, he checked his phone for the latest news.

When he opened Weibo, he found Han Zhi’s post topping the charts.

Han Zhi v: I’m fine, currently assisting with rescue work. Sorry for making you all worry. [Image]

Han Zhi included a selfie, showing himself covered in dirt, completely devoid of his usual refined appearance. Yet, it was an image that brought incredible relief.

With Han Zhi found, what about Meng Ke? Lin Qin prayed silently.

By midday, Lin Qin finally received another call from Meng Chao. Though it had only been two days since he’d last heard Meng Chao’s voice, it felt like an eternity.

Meng Chao: "Tonight’s flight. I should arrive tomorrow evening."

Lin Qin couldn’t help but cry, choking out a "Welcome back."

Meng Chao quickly shifted the topic, saying, "My brother and Han Zhi are coming back with me. My brother’s finally returning to the country."

Lin Qin knew Meng Ke had jokingly vowed not to return to the country until he won Han Zhi over. Now, hearing this from Meng Chao, it was clear that Meng Ke and Han Zhi had finally achieved their happy ending.

Finally!

Lin Qin couldn’t contain his joy for Meng Ke, crying and laughing on the phone with Meng Chao.

Meng Chao comforted him briefly before hearing the airport’s boarding announcement, prompting him to end the call.

Though Meng Chao had explicitly told Lin Qin not to wait for him, Lin Qin still went to the airport to pick him up on the day of his return.

There were many passengers on the flight who, like Meng Ke and Han Zhi, had survived the accident. Despite landing close to midnight, the airport was packed with waiting relatives.

Surviving such an ordeal naturally made everyone eager to reunite with their loved ones, and their anxious families needed the reassurance as well.

As the airport broadcast announced the arrival of the flight, this vessel carrying so many hopes finally landed amidst the anticipation of the waiting crowd.
